fidence by the Result.
PARIS, Sept. ION. Ferron, Minister of
War, attended a banquet given by the
officers of the Seventeenth Army corps last
night. He offered toast in honor of the
corps, which was the one selected for the
experiment in mobilizing troops, and
lauded the zeal of the civil
officials and the devotion of the people, from
whom he said any sacrifice might be asked
when the interests of France were involved.
The experience gained by the mobilization
of the corps had dispelled the doubt oppress-
ing the nation, and had given Parliament
and the country a feeling of confidence
which they did not possess before the mo-
bilization.

BUFFALO BONES.
How They Are Gathered on the Plains Of
the West, and Their Use.

HOW They Are Gatnereu on the fl&lho o.
the West, and Their Use.
A few years ago, when buffaloes were
more plentiful on the great Western
plains than they are to-day or ever viii
be again, they were ruthlessly slaught.
cred by un-sportsman-like hunters, who
gained the name of "skin-strippers, y
since their only motive in Staying the
beasts was to secure their hides. There
was always great and steady demand
for buffalo robes, and the "skin-strip.
pers" found their occupation profitable
us it was wanton and unjustifable. II
is hardly unnecessary to say that the
business of skinning buffaloes could
not prove profitable at the present time.
1t will never again be possible for the
enterprising "skin-strippers" to sweep
down upon enormous herds of these
noble though ungainly creatures and
slaughter them by the score, leaving
upon the plains, or furnish food for the
wolves and coyotes. Realizing thi
fact, the "skin-strippers" have taken
up new and less exciting occupation.
and are now known as bone-hunt
ers."
That the gathering Of buffalo bones
is recognized industry is easily proved
by the following figures. During the
season of 1884 there were shipped
east over the line of the Northern Pa
cific railroad alone 1856 tons, or nearly
800 cars of bones. These bones were
brought to various points on the line Of
the railroad by the bone-hunters, and
were then sold to the agents of the con.
sumers. They were at that time worth
$24 a ton at the market, and paid the
railroad company on an average little
over Sc a ton in freight charges. They
are used chiefly by sugar refnerics,
bone black establishments and carlos
works.-BoStoR Herald.

The Delight Men Take in Relating the
Story of Their Progress.
Man is made in the image of God,
and his mind is peculiarly interested
and impressed by this feature of the
Divine handiwork. And when, on a
far humber scale, it characterizes his
own works, he is greatly moved. Wit
ness the delight of the schOOl-boy when
along the garden becomes a huge
lump, taller than himself. Witness
the satisfaction of some laborious writ
er, who for years upon years has been
toiling at some dictionary, or a history
of the world, or philosophy of the
universe, or some such task, and at
last sees the slender first days page
multiplied into a work of a dozen
enormous volumes. A successful man
of the people who founded an institute
in a provincial town in Scotland,
placed in it little green box, more in
teresting to him than to the public, be-
cause when he started in life it con-
tanned the whole of his earthly posses
sions- In the hall of a splendid man
sion on the edge of Loeb Lomond
have seen the picture of little sailing
vessel, which carried the owner and all
his goods when he set out for the East
to begin what proved vast and most
lucrative business. And how often at
firesides, or dinner tables, in the course
of friendly saunters by the way, do
men who have acquired a position de-
light TO rehearse the story of their
progress; and how interested are most
of us in hearing or reading how the
gulf was spanned between the lawyer
first brief and the woolsack. or the
doctors first fee and the baronetcy, or,
in the case of the American President
between the log cabin and the White
House. Qutrer.

cine. Its oil is very soothing to the
stomach and intestines, and is also
rich in food for muscle and bone. One
of the best ways TO use faXseed is to
boil it in six times its bulk of water till
it forms a jelly; then mix a little of
this jelly with wheat bran and you
have an excellent food for growing
pig. This is also good food for the
brood sow, promoting her yield Of
milk. If used in this way, one pound
of flaxseed is mixed with ten pounds
of bran. Pigs very soon get a liking
for the taste of fiaxseed.-BOStOn Globe.

Some OF the Latest Oddities Devised for the
Benefit of the Gentle Sex.
Oil of lavender will drive away flies.
Roman-red snrah is extensively used
as garniture for beach costumes.
The Saratoga trunk continues to be
the most popular, being light and spac-
ious.
Yoke waists gathered to belt and
yoke basques are very popular for wash
dresses.
Sashes are much worn this season,
and greatingenuityis exercised in their
arrangement.
A favorite ribbon with which to trim
black lace dresses is black watered rib
bon an inch and a half wide, with picOt
edge.
Numbered with latest feminine fam
cies is the making of yachting pillows
for young gentlemen acquaintance
who are so fortunate as to own yachts.
The latest craze in bed-spreads is
white satin, with arabesques stamped
all over the surface, or else vine, both

gold-colored silk.

consumed the shell was found to be
embellished with the monogram of the
hostess.
Economical ladies who wish to vary
the toilet at minimum of expense
have their black lace dresses made en-
tirely without lining, so that they may
be worn over different skirts and bod
ices.
Chain bracelets are fashionable now
for engaged young women. The lover
places the bracelet about the wrist of
his sweetheart and fastens it on with
gold paddock, the key of which he
wears on his watch-chain.
At dinner lately given the flowers
were in an effective star-shaPed form,
rendered most beautiful by a cunning
hand which arranged it in gradations
from a vivid center to a pale shade at
the points where the tapering ray
ended in single leaf. The places for
the guests were laid just between these
rays, and the effect was exceedingly
good.
Casters continue to be staple arti-
Gle, the small breakfast one being en-
ployed at breakfast and luncheon by
many households, even at the East,
where the old-time dinner caster does
not often appear. These latter, how
ever, continue to be largely patrOnized,
notably in the Southern and Western
States, and are out in styles to har-
monize with the decoration of other
portions of table service.
Where the dinner caster is not used,
there are substituted one or more salad
sets, according to the size of the table,.
consisting of two or more glass bottles
or jugs in light silver stands, the salt
and pepper being furnished in individ-
ual shakers or cellars, as fancy die
